Welcome to this rare find in Princeton's desirable Western Section: an attractive colonial with classic good looks and sensible updates, sitting pretty on a verdant lot of nearly an acre. From the curb, the wood-sided exterior with its perfect proportions and lush landscaping sets an inviting tone. Inside, the foyer opens to generously sized, light-filled rooms that flow naturally for family living and entertaining. Sunny and spacious, the living room stretches front to back, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and a charming window seat with tranquil backyard views. Next door, the formal dining room opens through French doors to a beautiful, screened-in tiled patio with skylights overhead—ideal for relaxed dinners, morning coffee or evening gatherings under the stars. The kitchen is sunny, smart, and streamlined: a generous center island topped with polished quartzite, stainless appliances, abundant storage, and seamless access to a highly functional mudroom with a built-in bench, hooks, and pantry—keeping family chaos beautifully contained. A step down, the expansive family room impresses with a vaulted ceiling, a second wood-burning fireplace, and French doors to a broad deck overlooking the very private backyard. A bright, bookcase-lined office with pleasant front-yard views and a convenient powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, three well-proportioned, sun-drenched bedrooms share a classic hall bath with a tub. A double linen closet is right nearby. The primary suite feels especially generous—boasting a full wall of custom wardrobes, and overlooking the lovely backyard. The modern en-suite bath features a marble walk-in shower, double vanity, and a very large linen closet. The finished lower level adds valuable extra living space with recessed lighting, windows for natural brightness, a third full bath, a laundry area, and open space for a play area, gym, or media setup. The home, only a mile away from the vibrant downtown, is enveloped by quiet, tree-lined streets perfect for morning runs, leisurely walks, and a serene neighborhood atmosphere. Freshly painted, hardwood floors refinished and with Princeton schools nearby, this home is ready to please. Come take a look!

Light, bright, well-sized spaces and classic design are the hallmarks of this charming colonial, located in a quiet neighborhood a mile from downtown Princeton. Picture perfect from the curb, this wood-sided home resides on nearly an acre of verdant property. A gracious foyer is the entry point for a beautifully accommodating floor plan: The light-filled living room features crown molding, a wood burning fireplace, and recent custom built-ins on either side of a cozy window seat. The adjacent formal dining room has French doors leading to an enclosed bluestone patio accented by soaring skylights. The updated design in the nearby kitchen is smart and streamlined, making full use of the space with copious storage and a center island. Beyond the kitchen, a mudroom with built-in bench, hooks, and pantry provide the perfect drop-spot for everyday essentials. A step down from the kitchen is the expansive family/casual dining area, showcasing vaulted ceilings, a second wood burning fireplace, custom cabinetry and another set of French doors leading to the deck. The first floor also includes a bookcase-lined office and a powder room. Ascending the stairs to the second floor, three well-sized bedrooms, a full hall bath with a tub, and an in-wall double linen closet await. A roomy master bedroom overlooks the lovely backyard, and offers two sets of double closets and an updated ensuite bathroom with marble walk-in shower, and double-sink vanity. Finally, the home's lower level boasts that highly coveted additional recreation space, with finished space featuring recessed lighting and windows, a full bathroom, and laundry area. Coveted Princeton Schools are nearby. Come see!
